To the average internet user the acronym SEO is just yet another bit of gobbledegook internet jargon tossed around by web geeks and nerds. To some of us web geeks and nerds SEO is the be all and end all of internet promotion. The holy grail of appearing at number one spot on Google is… Continue reading

Let’s Go Galaxy Hunting
Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a galaxy hunter? Ever looked up at the stars and wondered if you are alone out there? Well, never mind the second question, but if you want to help classify over a million galaxies, then Galaxy Zoo could probably use your help. They have taken photo’s of around… Continue reading
What Sort of Facebooker Are You?!
It seems that if you are a 20 something in the UK you can’t have a conversation with someone for more than 5 minutes without the dreaded words Facebook being mentioned. Since it opened it’s doors to the general public in September 2006 it has seen a wild fire like growth in the UK. I… Continue reading
Windows Vista & The Memory Monster
My friend bought a new laptop the other day after his old died on him (shows a blank white screen on startup – anyone have any ideas?). So he toddled off to the local PC World to have a look at the laptops. I seem to remember a time a few years ago where desktop… Continue reading

Since everyone I know is wanting to learn this language (particularly Aravind!), I’ve created a quick cheat sheet on some of the most common words and… Continue reading
Nothing Much Going On
I hate posts about not much. But this is what this post is about…nothing much. At the moment I’ve got my Freshers writing a new content management script which could lay the framework for a script that I’ve been wanting for a while now. I was also looking at developing a ‘paid to read’ script… Continue reading
Back to School
This week feels like I’ve gone back to school and am in a Business Studies class. My Indian cold has finally cleared up, and fingers crossed it won’t come back, so it’s been back to business. So how is it that I’m back in a business studies class? Well a few weeks ago I alluded… Continue reading
